leaf sepatora fungi versus botrytis aka bud rot or is it manganese or calcium you're here
with mark bowel at perfectgardens.com please remember to like share and subscribe it's
always helpful with youtube i always appreciate all your support guys especially around this
video all right so now we're going to get into some pictures and i want to i'm going to keep
referencing them back and forth back and forth because once you see it you're going to get it but
it's important to actually see many pictures to kind of realize like oh and then at the very end
of this we're going to do a comparison so right here it says necrotic spots develop on several
affected leaves which become pale and fall off okay so that's why i want to be clear on
spots dead spots pale and fall off when it's in excess younger and newer growth develops chronic
dark orange to dark rusty brown molting on the leaves okay so as you can see right here
you can see the spotting how this is happening and this is again this is just one plant this
type of similar stuff starts to appear in in different ways on the plant and remember when
you're using a synthetic nutrients these synthetic nutrients is are designed to keep your plants
looking green so it's very easy for you to have a deficiency but your plant still looks green
i know that might sound a little crazy but it's chemistry and that's what these chemists are
doing they're tricking the plant and when they do that we're not able to see what's really going on
okay so calcium calcium is for cell walls and cell membranes significant thing is it's
immobile nutrient right so you're gonna look to the newer leaves why are you gonna look to
the newer leaves that's because calcium is needed as the plant is growing so as it's getting taller
as the leaves are going from small to big it needs calcium to develop itself structure manganese is a
semi-mobile nutrient right it's needed through the entire growing process flowering process
because it's 80 in over 300 enzyme reactions and like what we talked about it's splitting the light
for photosynthesis so photosynthetic happens through the entire time so you're going to need
magnesium through the entire time it's important to think about when the plants need these minerals
because if you think about when these plants need the minerals when certain deficiencies pop
up that look very similar you're going to be able to sit back and think okay what stage is the plan
in okay i know the plant needs these things during these times okay something doesn't really add up
and then you're able to dig a little deeper versus misdiagnose the problem if you need organic form
of calcium check out things like oyster sea shells bone meal limestone chips and stuff like that a
synthetic calcium that i approve of is the calcium nitrate other calciums like calcium glycoheptonate
will do nothing for you really okay so let's show what calcium is calcium is a yellowish brown
irregular spot develop on the leaves so as you can see right here at the irregular spot so it's
kind of blotchy in different directions i'm going to zoom up on these in a little bit all right so
once again you're seeing another manganese and you're seeing the spots happen and once again if
you're using a nutrient that line that is designed to keep your plants looking green at times these
other underlying deficiencies like this won't appear that is an opinion i'm just telling you
flat out that's my opinion although when i go through my list of what these things should look
like and i go through my checklist manganese is the closest one that appears to and on the
look like this portion is pale right does it kind of this one's a little brownish and then this one
starts to look a little pale so i'm going to go a little further another leaf you can see the
overall plant and so what does it mean by newer leaves and older leaves well these are going to
be the older leaves down here these are going to be the newer leaves up here the flower is going to
be the newest part of the plant these leaves are going to be the oldest part of this part of the
plant if that makes sense so when it says older and newer you have to think about specifically
what are we referencing on the position of the plant because we as we get into boron that also
plays a role and you'll you'll make sense when i get into that one later down the road once again
seeing the pictures okay so right here now we're doing the side-by-side comparison i think this
is where it really starts to pop out so as you can see the little splotching right here
there's little dots just like what we what we were referencing before spots and paleness right so you
can see the pelvis right here but this one's the calcium the calcium is darker and it's more more
splotchy around it they're really like taking up the whole section leaf i know this one's a little
more advanced but even and i'm including one that's not so advanced but you can see how it's
kind of just taking up the whole section of right here like it's it's not a little dots in the sense
and then this one right here is the sepatora and you can see it's a fungi so if you can put your
hands on it and rub it and it looks like fur and it's coming off you're most likely dealing with
some type of living organism fungi is a decomposer it's going to decompose and this is what it looks
like you can see right here it's like more of a darker furry or black and then once again here's
the botrytis remember to also check out our new membership where i release tons of new content
weeks if not months early and i give all your questions you post and guarantee that i'll get a
reply back to you in the last few days of you have just been recently seen i've been posting quite a
bit on the community forum right here i guess i'm just trying to get more familiar with the whole
youtube thing and see what's more available out there and this few little pool ended up creating
a couple more videos right ended up having a very interesting deficiency and through this
process besides guessing on the poll the mineral deficiencies which also i'm just kind of talking
about this for the rest of the channel anyone that doesn't know i'm starting to do this so
hopefully i'll be posting on a daily basis pictures and other things that i think will make
us all better growers this also lets me get around the youtube algorithm a little bit and lets me
get more in depth with what i want to do and how i want to post on the channel without worrying too
much about being demonetized or getting my channel removed in our previous video i actually got into
manganese versus calcium i actually already told you what the problem was this we're dealing with
the manganese deficiency although some of the other guesses were sepatora and botrytis
and that made me think if a couple people are suggesting these then that's what they're seeing
on their plant and they could be misdiagnosing the problem and if you misdiagnose it it ends up
setting you back on identifying the problem so you can properly create a solution so right here abcd
one of these is sepatora the other one's botrytis another one's a calcium deficiency and the other
one is a manganese deficiency let's go ahead and get into this video real quick and talk about all
these things and then get into more pictures in the end and tell you what they are and show you
detail by detail what i see and again i could be wrong right opinions are like [ __ ] i say
it all the time i can be 100 wrong and i will make another video if someone can present something to
me i will make another video being humble and saying listen guys i think i'm wrong whenever
i see a problem within one of my clients i go back to my own checklist the things i've created
over my time to identify problems and keep going back to it every time because it's hard for me to
remember this stuff i love at the end of the day going back i really actually just use youtube as
a sector of my own brain right because i'm always wanting to go back and double check just to make
sure you know am i going crazy so one of the most recent videos i talked about was fungi fungi fungi
and in that video i would talk about there are two types of fungi there's a decomposers and then
there are the mycorrhizae sepitore is a decomposer the type of fungi species is sepatora lycopercic
apologize on that let's get real quick into how to solve this problem because i can almost guarantee
a lot of you guys will be running into the issue i see it every year and this will actually lead into
botrytis one fun guy can lead into another fun guy so first thing remove infected foliage right
we've already talked about the video trimming at the bottom one third i created a number of videos
after that about trimming and the whole language behind it it's probably over like 500 opinions
on that post ranging from you'll know what you're talking about all the way to love the video highly
recommend go checking it out and read the other comments read what other growers are doing right
one of the best things you can ever do is become familiar and comfortable and forgiving to yourself
if you do something a lot of times you only have a couple plants you do something and you're like oh
man i shouldn't have done that you start beating yourself up versus paying attention to the plant
and realizing that there's a thousand different ways to paint a painting right now on this channel
i'm just providing the way i painted a painting in the last 13 years right that's just my narrow
perspective go watch other channels listen to their perspectives as well i highly encourage
them i actually recently just did a video with mr growit it came out really well i think i just
want to say thank you to a lot of you guys you guys reached out to him to do an interview and
i just don't think about that stuff i just want to answer one question at a time so i want to say
thank you all of you guys for that as well so second thing to do is improve air circulation
once again talked about a lot of videos about improving the air circulation trimming the bottom
one third you want to do that for indoor growing more than anything else not really for outdoor
if you have one or two plants and you have a small growing environment or maybe you're growing next
to a fence or you're trying to hide a couple things you might want to use some of these types
of techniques to bring help bring in the harvest but overall these types of techniques are mainly
for indoor growers and it's really honestly again thinking about where the industry was 40 years ago
30 20 10 five and present day obviously nowadays a lot of people are getting brave they put it right
into apartment complexes so the type of equipment that are being produced and manufactured is being
more tailored to the home grower nowadays than in a sense like industrial big ag which was where all
this technology was years ago with hid systems and so on i mean come on think about it guys
just 20 years ago all the fans were stand up fans big old honkers i mean if you could think about it
having a little clip-on fan years ago that i mean that was pretty like new technology [ __ ] so the
industry and our whole world it definitely evolved quite a bit i don't know if i want to use the
word evolved next thing is to avoid moisture right recently just released a video from my last year's
grow where eight inches of snowfall happened early september right after that i started getting an
infestation with white flies and spider mites and some pm right there are four and a half weeks into
flowering one of the worst times to start to get a bug infestation these types of things happen
though and that's why if you're attentive to your plants you'll be able to still bring in a harvest
next thing if you're growing outdoors is put down mulch fungi's relationship is
with minerals soil and plants keep decomposers on the ground not on your plants remove weeds
such as nightshade and horse needles they are common hosts for these types of fungi keep track
of temperature and humidity apply fungicides or natural oils if you want to again you know to each
is their own banish is the product that i actually am supporting i'm obviously always looking for
other products in line my values if you haven't checked out our video on smite and banish i highly
recommend to do so they are on our approved vendor list and obviously you can get it here
at perfectgardens.com just come to grow essentials come down to pest control and you'll find it right
there but trius is also a decomposer fungi is called the botrytis cinderella same exact solution
as before pretty much once you get botrytis it's kind of over you kind of really just want to cut
it out i probably would cut down two to four inches below that stem at the end of the day
the botrytis is growing on the plant right so it's going to be very clear what the where the botrytis
is and where it stops obviously you don't want to crack it open and let the fungi spores just fly
out but in the day don't be afraid to look at the botrytis and make sure to properly cut all of it
out of your plant and then next get some hydro peroxide and spray down the tops of those plants
while at the same time not allowing any of those spores to infect the rest of your room botrytis
really isn't actually a big deal it just degrades that one flower yeah if you let it go of course
it's going to destroy your crop if you're not staying on top of your environmental conditions
that's horrible next let's talk real fast about manganese but i just want to add in a couple small
things and we'll talk about this later on in other videos manganese is significant because it
aids in more than 300 enzyme reactions although how does it do that right how does such a small
trace mineral play such a large role and it does all that role specifically in the photosynthesis
two period so there's the photosynthesis one and phosphates the two period and we'll get into these
in other videos specifically in the photosynthesis 2 period is the water oxidizing system has to have
an absolute magnesium requirement to function and that's absolutely important when you kind of we
always talk about the law minimum law of tolerance all the time just misspell that right there no
big deal and this once again plays a large role right it has to have a absolute certain amount
of magnesium to function magnesium facilitates the photo analysis the light splitting i mean
that's huge that's significant guys one day when it when that hits you you're gonna be like wow
magnesium facilitates the photo analysis the light splitting of water molecules and provides energy
for photosynthesis in other videos i'm always talking about music and stuff in past videos i
talked about how magnesium captures the light and what is light light is harmonic frequency
so magnesium is the receiver and i'm just trying to say this in different ways so that it becomes
significant to you because once you understand how significant trace minerals are specifically
amino acids peptides and proteins when you start to understand the significance of those things and
with the building blocks i hate to be so cliche by saying the building blocks of life but
it really is the best way to say it it's the billion blocks of life once you understand
that how magnesium plays the role and how it it actually splits the lights the frequencies the
splinting of those frequencies is the first signal to create different types of amino
acids and peptide chains i'm going to say that one more time guys the splitting of that light is the
in a sense like one of the first moments the first instructions in a sense to to start
creating these very basic amino acids and peptide chains from there dna code stored in the leaves
begin to bind to other trace minerals form other protein chains and start to do other functions
manganese is a semi-mobile nutrient so it can appear in more in the first in the newer leaves
then it's gonna appear in the older leaves sorry this video was so long guys this is why i include
the introduction and all the step-by-step so you can just skip along and you don't even have to
listen to me ramble about these subjects generally the only reason why i do ramble
guys is because you're only listening to my own thoughts and my own conversations i'm having
as i'm interpreting information and through those thoughts i come to my own small realizations which
i'm able to implement in my own way thank you so much please remember to like share and subscribe
have a great day and i remember him bringing up bricks was because i asked him a question i was
like so how do you actually know when to harvest the grapes he then went in to go tell me about how
a lot of farmers will just grow the grapes but they won't do the fermentation process and he told
me about the bricks process because it's a way of measuring the amount of sugars in the grapes
